GB 3 TRANSPORT, HANDLING, STORAGE
3 Transport, Handling, Storage
In order to use the compressor in complete safety read the safety standards given
in section 1.3. before reading this section.
3.1 Transporting and handling the packed machine
The packed compressor must be transported by qualified personnel using a forklift

truck.
Before moving the machine ensure that the load-bearing capacity of the forklift truck is sufficient to take the
weight to be lifted.
Position the forks exclusively as illustrated below. Once the forks have been positioned in the points
indicated, lift slowly without jerking.
Never stand near the area where the compressor is being handled and never stand
on the crate while it is being moved.
3.2 Packing and unpacking
To avoid damages and to protect the compressor during transport it is usually placed on a wooden pallet,
to which it is secured by screws and covered with cardboard.
All the shipping and handling information and symbols are printed on the compressor packing. Upon
consignment remove the top part of the packing and check if any damages have been encountered during
transport. If any damages are found, caused during transport, immediately make a written claim, backed
up with photos of the damaged parts if possible and forward everything to your insurance company, with copy
to the Manufacturer and transporter.
12/36
TRANSPORT, HANDLING, STORAGE 3 GB
Using a forklift truck take the compressor as near as possible to the place where it is to be installed then
carefully remove the protective packing without damaging it, following the instructions below:
• Remove the packing 1, by sliding it away upwards.
• Unscrew screws 2 that block the feet that secure the compressor to the pallet (only for models with tank).
2
1
Note! The compressor can be left on the packing pallet to make it easier to move.
Carefully ensure that the contents correspond with all written in the consignment documents. Dispose of
the packing in compliance with current standards in force in the country of installation.
Note! The machine must be unpacked by qualified personnel using appropriate tools and
equipment.
3.3 Storing the packed and unpacked compressor
For the whole time that the compressor is not used before unpacking it, store it in a dry place at a temperature
between +5°C and + 45°C and sheltered away from weather.
For the whole time that the compressor is not used after unpacking it, while waiting to start it up or due to
production stoppages, place sheets over it to protect it from dust, which may settle on the components.
The oil is to be replaced and the operational efficiency of the compressor is to be checked if it is not used
for long periods.
13/36
GB 4 INSTALLATION
4 Installation
4.1 Admitted surrounding conditions
Position the machine as established when the order was placed. Failing this the Manufacturer is not liable
for any inconveniences that may possibly arise.
Unless pointed out otherwise when placing the order, the compressor must work regularly in the surrounding
conditions indicated below:
ROOM TEMPERATURE
The room temperature must not be lower than 5°C or higher than 45°C to ensure the ideal operational
efficiency of the compressor.
If the compressor works at a room temperature lower than the minimum value, the condensate could be
separated within the circuit and therefore the water would mix with the oil, thus deteriorating the quality of
the latter, failing to guarantee the even formation of the lubricating film between the moving parts with the
possibility of seizure.
If the compressor works at a room temperature higher than maximum value, the compressor would take
in air that is too hot, which would prevent the heat exchanger from adequately cooling the oil in the circuit,
raising the working temperature of the machine, thus causing the thermal safety device to trip, which stops
the compressor due to an excessive temperature of the air/oil mixture at the screw outlet.
The maximum temperature of the room is to be measured while the compressor is running.
LIGHTING
The compressor has been designed in compliance with legal prescriptions and in the attempt to minimise
shadow zones to facilitate the operator’s job.
The lighting system of the factory is to be considered as crucial for the operator’s safety.
The room in which the compressor is installed must have no shadow zones, dazzling lights or stroboscopic
effects due to the lighting.
ATMOSPHERE WITH RISK OF EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE
The standard compressor is not pre-arranged or designed to work in rooms subject to the risk of explosion
or fire. The performance of the compressor may decrease at the maximum permitted ambient temperature,
with relative humidity higher than 80% and at an altitude of more than 1,000 mt.
4.2 Space required for maintenance
The compressor must be installed in a large room that is well-aired, dust-free and sheltered away from rain
and frost. The compressor takes in a large amount of air that is required to ventilate it internally. A dusty
atmosphere would in time cause damages and inefficient performance.
Part of the dust once inside is taken in by the air filter causing it to clog rapidly and another part of dust will
settle on the components and will be blown against the cooling radiator, consequently compromising the
efficiency of the heat exchanger. It is therefore obvious that the cleanliness of the area in which the
compressor is installed is crucial for the correct efficiency of the machine, avoiding excessive running and
maintenance costs. To facilitate maintenance jobs and to create a favourable circulation of air, the
compressor must have a sufficient free space all around it (see fig.).
14/36
INSTALLATION 4 GB
The room must be provided with outlets that lead outdoors near the floor and ceiling that will allow the natural
circulation of air. If this is impossible, some fans or extractors must be fitted to ensure an air flow rate 20%
higher than the cooling air flow rate. Minimum recommended fan capacity: 2500 m3/h.
Ducts for the inlet and outlet of the air can be used in unfavourable environments. These ducts must be the
same size as the in-take and delivery grid. If these ducts are longer than 3 meters contact the Authorised
Service Centre.
Note! A conveyance system can be fitted to recover the hot ventilation air delivered, which
can be used to heat the room or for other purposes. It is crucial that the cross section
of the system that recovers the hot air is greater than the total cross section of the
grid slots plus the system must be equipped with a forced extraction system
(extractor fan) to favour a constant downflow. (minimum cross section 1200 cm²).
4.3 Positioning the compressor
Once the position in which the compressor is to be installed has been identified ensure that the compressor
is set on a flat surface.
No special foundations or bases are required for the machine.
Lift the compressor using a forklift truck (forks at least 900 mm long) and fit the vibration-damping feet 1 and
block with the nuts 2 under the four resting points where established.
Do not secure the compressor rigidly to the floor.
4.4 Connecting the compressor to the sources of energy and relative inspections.
4.4.1 Connecting the compressor to the electrical mains power supply
The compressor is to be connected to the electrical mains by the customer, to his

exclusive liability, employing specialised personnel and in compliance with the
Accident Prevention Norms EN 60204.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING TO EARTH

This compressor must be connected to earth while in use in order to safeguard the operator against electrical
shocks. The electrical connection must be carried out by a skilled engineer. It is advisable never to dismantle
the compressor or even to make any other connections. All repairs must be carried out exclusively by
authorised service centres or other qualified centres. The earth wire of the power supply cable of the
compressor must be connected only and exclusively to the PE pin of the terminal board of the actual
compressor. Before replacing the plug of the power supply cable ensure that the earth wire is connected.
EXTENSION CABLE
Use only extension cables with plug and earth connection. Never use damaged or squashed extension
cables. Ensure that the extension cable is in a good state of wear. When using an extension cable, ensure
15/36
GB 4 INSTALLATION
that the cross section of the cable is sufficient to convey the current absorbed by the product to be
connected.
If the extension cable is too thin there could be drops in voltage and therefore loss in power and overheating
of the equipment. The extension cable of the three-phase compressors must have a cross section in
proportion with its length: see table below:
CORRECT CROSS SECTION FOR THE MAXIMIM LENGTH OF 20M

220/240V 380/415V
HP kW 50/60 Hz 50/60 Hz
3 ph 3 ph

20 15 25 mm² 16 mm²
25 18 35 mm² 16 mm²
30 22 50 mm² 25 mm²
Avoid all risks of electrical shocks. Never use the compressor with damaged
electrical cables or extension cables. Regularly check the electrical cables.
Never use the compressor in or near water or near a hazardous area where electrical
shocks may be encountered
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The three-phase compressors (L1+L2+L3+PE) must be installed by a qualified engineer. The three-phase
compressors are supplied without plug and cable. The power supply cable must be fed into the electrical
cabinet through the dedicated cable clamps 1 situated on the left side of the compressor.
Ensure that the cable cannot accidentally come into contact with moving or hot components, possibly
secure with clips. The cross section of the wires of the power supply cable (for lengths of 4 m and ambient
temperatures of 50°C at the most) must be as follows:
Power Hp Rated voltage 380/415V Rated voltage 220/240V
10 4 mm² 6 mm²
15 6 mm² 10 mm²
20 10 mm² 16 mm²
25 10 mm² 25 mm²
30 16 mm² 35 mm²
It is advisable to install the connector, magneto thermal switch and fuses near the compressor (3 m away
at the most). The magneto thermal switch and the fuses must have the characteristics indicated in the table
below:
Power Hp Rated voltage 380/415V Rated voltage 220/240V
Magneto thermal switch Fuse Magneto thermal switch Fuse
10 25 A 30 A 40 A 40 A
15 40 A 40 A 63 A 80 A
20 50 A 50 A 80 A 80 A
25 63 A 63 A 80 A 100 A
30 80 A 80 A 125 A 125 A
Note! The fuse parameters indicated in the table above refer to the gl type (standard). If cartridge
fuses type aM are used (delayed) the parameters in the table are to be reduced by 20%.
The parameters of the magneto thermal switches refer to switches type K.
16/36
INSTALLATION 4 GB
Ensure that the installed power in kW is at least double the input of the electric motor. All silent rotary
screw compressors avail of Star/Delta starting, which enables the motor to start with as little electrical
energy consumption upon start-up as possible.
The mains voltage must correspond with that indicated on the electrical data nameplate of the machine;
the admitted tolerance must remain within +/- 5%.
EXAMPLE:
Voltage, 400 Volt: minimum tolerance 380 Volt - maximum tolerance 420 Volt
The plug of the power supply cable must never be used as a switch but must be plugged into a power
socket that is controlled by an adequate differential switch (magneto thermal switch).
Never use the earth connection instead of the neutral. The earth connection must be
achieved according to the EN 60204 industrial safety standards.
Ensure that the mains voltage corresponds with that required for the correct
operation of the compressor.
CHECK THE ROTATION DIRECTION

When connecting the compressor to the electrical mains for the first time ensure that the STOP ALARM is
not triggered, which is pointed out by the red LED lit steady, by a buzzer and by a warning on the display 1
stating: ROTATION ALARM.
This alarm points out the incorrect connection order of the electrical power supply cables (relative to the three
phases) that causes the incorrect rotation direction of the screw unit. Once the cable connection has been
rectified press the RESET key 3.
Warning! The incorrect rotation direction for more than 20 seconds will irreparably damage the
compressor.

4.4.2 Connecting to the pneumatic mains
Always use pneumatic hoses for compressed air with the maximum pressure
characteristics and cross section suitable for those of the compressor.
Do not try to repair a faulty hose.
Connect the compressor to the pneumatic mains using the fitting 1 pre-arranged on the compressor. Use
hosing with a greater or same diameter as the compressor outlet. Install two ball taps with capacity suitable
for the compressor between the compressor and tank and between the tank and line. Do not install non-
return valves between compressor and tank. The non-return valve is already installed inside the compressor.

GB 5 USING THE COMPRESSOR
5 Using the compressor
5.1 Preparing to use the compressor
5.1.1 Operational principle
The air taken-in by the filter passes through a valve that controls its flow rate to the screw where, mixing with
the oil, it is compressed.
The air/oil mix produced by compression reaches a tank where the initial separation by gravity is achieved;
as the oil is heavier, it settles on the bottom, it is then cooled and sent through a heat exchanger, filtered and
injected into the screw again.
The oil is required to reduce the heat produced by compression, to lubricate the bearings and to maintain
the coupling of the screw lobes. The air is sent through an oil separator filter to be additionally purified from
residue oil particles. It is cooled by means of another heat exchanger and is finally outlet to be used at low
temperature and with acceptable water and oil residues (-3p.p.m.). A safety system controls the crucial
points of the machine and points out any abnormal conditions. The temperature of the air/oil mix at the screw
outlet is controlled by a thermostatic probe, which stops the compressor if the temperature is too high
(105°C).
A thermal protection device is fitted on the electric motor, which stops the machine if necessary.

5.3 Check the efficiency of the safety devices before starting
OIL LEVEL
Check the oil level as indicated in Section 6 “Compressor maintenance”.
DO NOT START THE COMPRESSOR WITH THE GUARDS OPEN TO AVOID INJURY
DUE TO MOVING COMPONENTS OR ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT.
5.4 Starting the compressor
Following an electrical shortage the compressor will start only if the START (I) button
is pressed.
Ventilation must occur as illustrated below.
It is of crucial importance that the compressor works with
all the panels firmly closed.
The failed observance of these and the following standards
may lead to accidents that could cause personal injury and
serious damages to the compressor or its equipment.
21/36
Before initially starting the compressor or following extended inoperative periods, start the machine
intermittently by pressing the START(I)-STOP(O) buttons on and off for 3 or 4 seconds. After this it is
advisable to run the compressor for a few minutes with the air outlet tap open. Then gradually shut-off the
air tap and load to maximum pressure, checking if the inputs on each phase of the power supply are within
the limits and also if the pressure switch trips. At this stage ensure that the compressor runs idle for roughly
4 minutes. The pressure on the gauge on the panel must be between 2 and 3 bar. After this amount of time
the compressor will stop as the timer will trip. Discharge the air from the tank until the starting pressure is
reached (2 bar difference compared to maximum pressure). Shut-off the air outlet tap and wait for the
pressure switch to trip, which will shut-on the in-take valve and close the internal discharge.
CALIBRATION AND SETTINGS MADE BY THE MANUFACTURER

The thermal relay is set according to the table below:
Power Hp Rated voltage 380/415V-3ph Rated voltage 220/240V-3ph
10 9A 15,5 A
15 13,5 A 23,3 A
20 17,2 A 30,4 A
25 22 A 38,2 A
30 25,4 A 43,9 A
Disconnect the electrical power supply form the compressor before opening the electrical cabinet.
The setting of the thermal relay 1 must not differ from all indicated in the table above. If the thermal relay
should trip, check the input, the voltage on the line terminals L1+L2+L3 while the compressor is running and
the power connections inside the electrical control panel and the motor terminal board.
USEFUL TIPS FOR CORRECT COMPRESSOR PERFORMANCE

For the correct operational performance of the machine under full continuous load at the maximum working
pressure, ensure that the temperature of the work area in a closed room does not exceed +45°C.
It is advisable to use the compressor with a maximum service of 80% in one hour under full load in order
to ensure the correct efficiency of the product in time.
5.5 Stopping the compressor
Press the STOP (O) push button and the compressor will stop immediately.
Note! By disconnecting the power supply from the external switch the compressor is
completely without power.
